About this map

Ave Maria and the Ave Maria University campus form a modern center of habitation surrounded by the extensive wetlands of the Florida interior. This landscape is defined by the alternation of swampy depressions and slightly elevated landforms, including Big Corkscrew Island and Smallwood Island. The intricate network of surface water is mapped through various strands and sloughs, such as Baucom Cypress Strand to the north and Camp Keais Strand further south, illustrating the drainage patterns that characterize this part of the state.

Conservation areas dominate the southern reaches, most notably the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge. The map details a transition from the structured residential grid of Ave Maria, with streets like Pope John Paul II Blvd and Anthem Pkwy, into the raw hydrology of Corkscrew Swamp and Cox Lake. These features provide a clear view of how contemporary development is integrated into the complex, water-dependent ecosystems of the western Everglades region.
